- -the level of uric acid in the blood
- -measured by a blood test to diagnose gout
- -uric acid is a waste byproduct produced by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. If the kidneys do not excrete enough uric acid, or the liver produces too much, it will end up in the blood, leading to hyperuricemia

-
Cardiac Catheterization
Cateterización Cardiaca
- -a diagnostic procedure that examines how the heart and blood vessels function
- -one or more catheters are inserted through a peripheral blood vessel in the arm or leg
- -gathers info on the adequacy of blood supply in the coronary arteries and blood pressures and blood flow throughout the heart chambers
-
Carotid Angiogram
Angiograma Carotideo
- -a test to evaluate the carotid arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain and surrounding tissues for abscesses, tumors, and aneurysms.
- -accomplished by injecting contrast material into a catheter in the femoral artery
-
